I delayed the start of today&#8217;s bike ride until after I went to the Kingwood parade. Before going to the parade I had time to watch the Giro d&#8217;Italia Donne bike race. It was a great finish. Back home I got ready and rolled my Cervelo Caledonia away on the ride at 1:00 PM. By then the temperature was up to 93 but it wasn&#8217;t too bad as long as I was moving. I decided to ride to Jesse Jones Park using the Spring Creek Greenway. I thought the ride would be around 20 miles but I added some streets on the way to the trailhead and ended riding <strong>29.02 miles<\/strong>. The last time I rode to Jesse Jones Park and not farther on the greenway was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/28927179\">December 3rd, 2021<\/a><\/strong> and since I&#8217;ve kept track of my rides I have rode to there 5 times, including today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cervelo is getting close to 3,000 miles lacking 36 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I didn&#8217;t see many people on the greenway and the parking lot at the park was almost empty. I guess people went other places for July 4th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Weather conditions at the start and 3:25 PM finish: start 92 (humidity 46%, dew point 68), partly cloudy, wind S 5 mph; finish 87 (humidity 68%, dew point 76), mostly cloudy, wind S 9 mph gusts 17 mph. The wind gusts helped cool me some. A few clouds looked like they might have some rain and I think I felt a couple of drops but that&#8217;s all. The ice and water in my CamelBak refreshed me when I got dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ride wasn&#8217;t a high energy one with the heat and short stretched of road to get up to speed. I never got my average speed above 13 mph. I did get a Strava <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7415935232\/segments\/2979138406158660834\">Woodland Hills TT<\/a>\u00a0(5:20) so there was some high energy there.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/7415935232\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1043\" height=\"920\" data-attachment-id=\"59599\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/7-4-2022-strava-spring-creek-greenway-to-jesse-jones-park-ride-summary\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?fit=1043%2C920&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1043,920\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"7-4-2022 Strava Spring Creek Greenway to Jesse Jones Park Ride Summary\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7-4-2022 Strava Spring Creek Greenway to Jesse Jones Park Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;7-4-2022 Strava Spring Creek Greenway to Jesse Jones Park Ride Summary&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?fit=510%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?fit=680%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?fit=1043%2C920&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"7-4-2022 Strava Spring Creek Greenway to Jesse Jones Park Ride Summary\" class=\"wp-image-59599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?w=1043&amp;ssl=1 1043w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?resize=510%2C450&amp;ssl=1 510w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?resize=680%2C600&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-4-2022-Strava-Spring-Creek-Greenway-to-Jesse-Jones-Park-Ride-Summary-2.png?resize=544%2C480&amp;ssl=1 544w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1043px) 100vw, 1043px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>7-4-2022 Strava Spring Creek Greenway to Jesse Jones Park Ride Summary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/ridewithgps.com\/embeds?type=trip&#038;id=95484427&#038;sampleGraph=true\" style=\"width: 1px; min-width: 100%; height: 1000px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special day for the United States, July 4th and I wore a patriotic jersey.
